“Jon Jones went back in the gym and just didn’t feel good,” White said, while referring to the epic war Jones engaged in with Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165 in September. “He said his legs were still bothering him and his eye is bothering him. He still banged up from that fight.”

“That fight wasn’t that long ago,” he said. “It’s like being in a car accident.”

Funny, I saw Jon Jones at UFC Gym Long Island on October 12th, about 3 weeks after his fight with Goose.
His face was looking normal, he was walking around normal. Of course, this was just living a normal, everyday life kinda thing, and not training, but I just found it odd that he was spending his time to show up at a gym, that he wasn't even supposed to show up for (the guest fighters to appear were Forrest, Liddell, Penn, Edgar) and spent a few hours for autographs and pictures, when he could have used it to heal. From what I was told, he specifically flew out to NY just to make a unannounced cameo for the gym, and flew right back out the same day.

Far be it for me to judge how one spends their free time, but I just find it odd that he has been traveling a lot lately to make guest appearances when he should take it easy and heal his injuries.

I doubt the travel or walking around a gym is really interfering with his recuperation though.

There's a big difference between doing normal everyday stuff and training for competition.
